'Eyesore' of Whitley Bay's former 42nd Street bar could be redeveloped

A derelict former coastal hotspot described as an eyesore in Whitley Bay, could be set for redevelopment.

Property developer, North East Holdings ltd, applied to North Tyneside Council to demolish the former late-night watering hole 42nd Street and the adjacent King George at 1-2 East Parade, and construct 19 two-bedroom apartments on the site. North Tyneside councillors will meet on September 27 to consider the regenerative proposals.

Lichfields are acting as North East Holdings Ltd's agent for the application. Senior director of Lichfield, Michael Hepburn said: “I think probably, the first, most important thing is the regeneration of what is the last of the old generation of public house sites in the area."
